  1. Hey guys Don't bow up the pictures too big, I had the grille upside down, BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH bifocals greg
  2. I had Revell tire sweat on the Simba crash truck tires, I was fortunate enough to get replacements when they rereleased the kit greg
  3. Nice job, nice detail on the console, Interesting with the numbers on the gumball greg
  4. Finished the new Bronco kit to my specifications MPC CJ Jeep wheels and tires JoHan Plymouth light bar, Bare Metal foil, Tamiya sky blue, I attached windshield to roof and side windows making it easier to do final fit greg
  5. I have my certificate from Revell from 1961 . Does this count? greg
  6. Just to post with the 'Blues Bothers' figures, Police figures from American Diorama greg
  7. Question on shifters: Been working on my kit and came across a step I'm a little confused with. The steering column has a shifter on it and then there is a shifter for the floor. Is the kit 'three on the tree' with a floor selector or should the clutch pedal be removed and make this an automatic with floor selector. I'm sorry that I didn't know the hubs locks were not Spicer, Hey the closet I got to 4wd was a Jeep that I was allowed to use my brothers CJ 5 http://media.fotki.com/1_p,rttwfqkfbwfbswgxwbfrddsrftbss,vi/bsfsskdbqxbsbqfkqtdxbskdqqwdg/8/3457628/13265735/P1040594-vi.jpg just test fitting items and color is Tamiya blue air brushed on, Sorry guys just can't keep light bars off my models greg
  8. Nice version of the Taurus. Trivial fact I was told was that the grey rear and back panels on Ford denotes a commercial chassis. I was told this by a Taxi fanatic if this is true maybe a FOMOCO fan can deny or verify the fact greg
  9. Another repair is to get evergreen tube and slide it over the post, if you can't get the right size, cut the tubing and slide it over the post. I used brass tubing before evergreen came along greg
  10. Ever notice JoHan were thinner and deeper pitch than the others AMT,SMP,Hubley etc They screwed in faster. There were crazy kids like me that used glue to help set them in the posts so that destroyed the idea of backing them out. greg I only have a few to my name, can't help ya , sorry
  11. Been working on mine and was disappointed in the front hubs and the warn lock out hubs seem to be short, Looking at pictures of real Broncos the hubs seem to stick out as far as the center of the hubcaps. The hubcaps in the kit have the centers removed to accommodate the lockout but the kit lockout doesn't come close. Working on modifying the MPC Jeep hub and tires to fit the suspension, Is there anyone going to throw a pinto on this chassis? greg
  12. Got my kit the other day, Was wondering if the suburbanites would work, thinking of using the Jeep wheels? greg
  13. Years ago I had a press pass to the Michigan race and took some pics during happy hour of the cars. Scanned my old negatives today and posted the pics at Fotki. Anybody give me the year of the race I would appreciate it, lost my pass in my house fire http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/michigan-nascar/ greg
  14. My sister in law got these from a friend who was cleaning out a house, Was going to take them to Goodwill, my brother intercepted and I have them now, I know I can't sell them here but wanted to share. This is untouched complete greg
  15. A couple of canards in the front and it might actually fly greg
  16. Looking forward to more tips and to see all the Swiss watches quiver greg
  17. I was hoping you would post it over here, I can comment here, 1 item it needs is a nice old big whip antenna, you got the radio in it, greg
  18. Thanks for the answers, Any kits with that seat in it? greg
  19. Working on a project model of a real truck, I need to know if any one can Identify where this seat came from? greg
  20. Charlie's finished trucks are spectacular and appreciate his sharing his skills, I believe that the Ford cab is from 1962 as I believe that was the last Ford pick up model until AMT's release of the Ford pick up in the mid 70's. I had the privilege of obtaining one of the castings and ended making a newer 1970 model where I had to make my own grill. Had a little problem with an interior but ended up with this: greg
  21. Here are their line up photos http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/blues-bros-lineup/ The only marks are the hob (house of blues) tm and 1996, made in china greg
  22. There were a set out years ago, I will take snaps of them and post them later. What's with the green tires? greg
  23. I have a friend who got both the CPD and the BB's cars, with GREEN tires. What goes? here is a reference sale on ebay, I have no interest in this sale which I find overpriced http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greenlight-Green-Machine-1974-Dodge-Monaco-BluesMobile-Blues-Brothers-1-24-/361773369305?hash=item543b5f87d9:g:HKYAAOSw8gVYA~zV greg
